描述
For all the fans of Gerald Durrell's masterpiece "My Family and Other Animals," This tour is guiding you through the captivating locations that inspired the Durrell family during their stay in Corfu.
Embark on a one-of-a-kind journey along “The Durrells’ Pathway”—a tour exclusively designed by the great-grandchildren of Spiros Amerikanos. As the descendants of the Durrell family’s close friend and trusted guide, they offer an insider’s perspective, sharing personal stories and rare insights that bring Durrells’ Corfu to life.
Begin your journey on Corfu’s picturesque northeast coast, where you visit the White House in Kalami—the former home of Lawrence Durrell and his wife Nancy. They lived here for three years, and it was in this serene setting that Lawrence Durrell wrote some of his most significant works. Take a relaxing coffee break while soaking in the breathtaking Ionian views that once inspired him.
Next, visit Kanoni, home to one of Corfu’s most iconic landmarks—Vlacherna Monastery and Mouse Island (Pontikonisi). Situated next to the Chalikiopoulos family lake, this area’s natural beauty made a lasting impression on the Durrells during their stay in Corfu.
A special highlight of the tour is a visit to the former home of Spiros Amerikanos, now the site of the family’s travel agency. Here, take a rare look at original photographs from the 1930s, offering an exclusive glimpse into the real-life experiences of the Durrells in Corfu and their lifelong friendship with the legendary taxi driver who played a crucial role in their story.
To end the journey in true Durrell fashion, head to the legendary Taverna Tripa in the picturesque village of Kinopiastes. This historic taverna, known for its authentic Greek atmosphere, was a favorite spot of Gerald Durrell and the grandfather of the tour guides, Michael Chalikiopoulos, where they spent many evenings in the 1960s. Experience a traditional Greek night, featuring a full dinner, local wine, and live Greek music, just as Gerald Durrell and Michael once did.
